Mr.Jhorjan Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Link: https://www.lavanguardia.com/comer/tendencias/20190821/464001213755/frutas-verduras-alimentos-no-guardar-juntos-etileno.html It is not a good idea to place pears with apples, or potatoes with onions, or bananas with avocados in the same container if we do not want the rate of ripening to accelerate to the point of spoiling in less time than expected. The cause is ethylene, a gas that all fruits and vegetables release naturally when they ripen, although some of them in such high quantities that they affect those who are more sensitive to its effects. Ethylene Ethylene is a gas that all fruits and vegetables release naturally when they ripen. If those that produce it and those that are sensitive are kept in the same place, they will have a much faster aging process than they should, so they will soon wither and even rot. It is also not necessary to keep the producing fruits and vegetables inside hermetic bags or containers, because the gas is locked up and the effect is greater. It is an element that plants emit during their metabolism. It is the hormone that controls the growth, maturation and aging of the fruits and only begins to be produced when they are harvested. It has positive effects, such as making fruits tastier and more energetic, because they reduce starch and acidity, while raising the sugar level.
